Driven plenty of Freights, a few Petes, no KWs, though.
Then there's Volvos. Quite possibly the worst POS ever built - mechanics REALLY hate them, too... Designed to fall apart, then be pretty much repairable.
I drove one 1200 miles in derated mode a few weeks back. This after I was towed into a shop (oh yeah, big rig tow broke down, too. Was a really fine day). Five hours later, shop said everything was fine and sent me on my way. Six hours after that, every warning lamp in the cab came on. I kept going hoping the SOB would grenade itself. No such luck!
